The founder of Solid Rock Kingdom Church who was kidnapped on Tuesday has been released.

Apostle John Okoriko was abducted by gunmen from his church residence in Akwa Ibom and taken to an unknown destination.

The kidnappers reportedly demanded N100 million in ransom, before reducing it to N30 million and further cutting it to N10 million on Friday afternoon.
